A 54-year-old Napier man has been arrested overnight following the fire at St
Paul’s Presbyterian Church last Sunday.
He will appear at Napier District Court today charged with one count of
arson.
Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Simmons said: “Police are highly appreciative for the assistance from our partner agencies, including Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ), Napier City Council, and the local business community, which enabled this timely result.”
